I just realized I had not made an avatar for myself.

A couple of quick photos and presto

[keyboard]

Mines still cooler :D

[ajfmrf]

I got a few more but I was really confused as to which one to use.

I think Mr Bean is funny as ....

[keyboard]

But mines Mr. Bean too!

[jscheuer1]

I thought they were both the Green Goblin in a blue light. I can see the Bean connection though.

Yes,I realized that when I saw your 1st post to this thread-lol

But not until then-cool

Um... question mark?

[bernie1227]

not even.......

[jscheuer1]

Um... question mark?

S/he's Bean.

[keyboard]

I know who it is, it's just slightly disturbing...

[jscheuer1]

If you can have an Avatar Bean avatar, why not an Angelina Jo-Bean?

[keyboard]

Because mine doesn't scar you for life......... much

[djr33]

Maybe. But I know that next time I see Avatar I won't be able to stop picturing that.

[james438]

jscheuer1's Angelina Jo-Bean picture kinda stings the eyes a bit. He wins the most disturbing Mr. Bean image too.

[keyboard]

EVERYONE SHOULD CHANGE THEY'RE AVATARS!!! :D :D :D :D :D
Is that you James?

[james438]

Yep. It's what I look like. I cut my hair a little shorter now though.

[keyboard]

It's so wierd seeing you :p

[james438]

I look nothing like you guessed, eh? :)

That's my first online picture of myself. There are not very many pictures of myself. I don't mind having my picture taken, but I have little to no interest in having them. That and I suppose I get kinda self conscious too. With a few other people using pictures of themselves as avatars I've long been considering doing the same.

Anyway, Tadaa!

[bernie1227]

personally, I think I'll keep my matrix windows. I thin Mathis thread gets the award for being the weirdest thread on dd forums ever. EVER.

Strangely, I always imagined you to be a younger version of John...

[bernie1227]

interesting, you could do some serious pshyciatric studies with just posts from this thread.

[Beverleyh]

S/he's Bean.

Been where? thats what I'd like to know!

This must be that morning after phenomenon that my male chums tell me about (hee, hee)

[bernie1227]

and here we can make a pshycological profile on BeverlyH in her usage of dirty jokes in a thread about trans-gender mr. bean's

[ajfmrf]

Okay I had to change my mr bean avatar.

What do you think about the new one?

[jscheuer1]

It's not blue, that's a relief.

In defense of the image I put up, Laura Croft upon whom Angelina Jo-Bean is based was herself originally an avatar. So it's definitely on topic.

[Beverleyh]

And there I was thinking that Beanie Babies were those cute little toys!

I still want to stroke his tufty-fluffy hair. Is that wrong?

Really? Just one mention of a morning atfer the night before encounter in it gets a 15 rating?

That's British seaside humour, Sunday-afternoon-with-your-gran context!

Sid James would be laughing his backside off!

[jscheuer1]

Sid's not real big over here. My Gran (Granny we called her) wasn't quite like that. My mom was though.

[keyboard]

Sid Who?

[bernie1227]

ratings are stricter in Australia BeverlyH :p

[Beverleyh]

Ha, ha - I can see I will have to mind my Ps and Qs a bit more.

A cultural divide aswell as a gender divide - what's a girl to do? Maybe I should come with a disclaimer!? :)

For the benefit of those who do not know who Sid James is - He was the guy with the wrinkled face and dirty laugh in the British low budget "Carry On" films.

And if that needs further clarification... "Carry On" films (which ran from the 50s to 90s) are famed for their innuendo, saucy seaside humour, satirical wit and mocking of British institutions such as the National Health Service, monarchy, politicians, etc. And even though there is a fair amount of flesh shown at some point during the movies (more burlesque than stripper) they are still aired on Sunday afternoon TV for family viewing.

[bernie1227]

hey, I have an idea, we can all change our signatures as well!!! (yours can be a disclaimer berverlyH) :p

[jscheuer1]

Ha, ha - I can see I will have to mind my Ps and Qs a bit more.

Don't change.

[bernie1227]

or alternatively do

[james438]

Slightly off topic, but what prompted you (referring to those who have posted in this thread) to post real life images of yourselves as your avatar? As you can see I decided to do so as well, but I was wondering if maybe there was a reason you originally decided to do so.

[jscheuer1]

Well the avatar has a rich if perhaps brief, history. There are those who feel the best ones reflect as much as possible of the actual person. For some time though I had various ones that were not me. An animated .gif (be patient, it's slow):

4757

I also at various times used only one of the panels - a different one each at different times. And another I had was just an icon of a laptop:

4758

I've had at least two others, pictures of me though and not all that different from my current one. I may change again. For now I like what I have.

[bernie1227]

Wow, I can't imagine you having an avatar of not you

[Beverleyh]

I like real pics because they're more personal and I think others tend to respond/interact in a more positive way with a real face attached to the post. Likewise, I am encouraged to deliver the best possible me as well - Of course, I reserve the right to be a complete irkish-goit-beast-from-hell to my nearest and dearest at least a few days every month, but I don't believe in dishing out the evils from behind my monitor.

[james438]

That's a good point. They are rather personal and is a way to be more open about yourself to the people you interact with online. I think there should be a healthy balance between being open about yourself and protecting your privacy. I believe I have been erring a little too much on protecting my privacy due to all that I hear about identity thefts and whatnot.

jscheuer1, I remember that second one, but the first animated avatar you posted is a bit older for me. I may have seen it before, but I don't remember. I like your current one the best.

[jscheuer1]

I just realized that all of the images have the same profile, so you see more of the right side.

[djr33]

I used to have various other pictures, but for my last three avatars I've had pictures of me; the first was just taken with my webcam sitting at the computer, the second was a slightly better picture, and my current one is from my trip to Easter Island. I'll probably update it whenever I go on another trip and get a better picture.

[Beverleyh]

Aw, James! You're a mod - congratulations! When did that happen?

Its the hair - we finally got to see your good-boy side-parting, and ddadmin thought "now there's a sterling example of sensibility and refinement - let's have him on the team!" :)

[djr33]

Three new mods have been added. I'll post an announcement now. We've just been organizing behind the scenes a bit ;)

[james438]

Its the hair - we finally got to see your good-boy side-parting, and ddadmin thought "now there's a sterling example of sensibility and refinement - let's have him on the team!" :)

Exactly! It was all a part of my plan :D! and can you believe it worked?

Thanks for the congratulations by the way! :) From what I can tell my job is pretty much the same as before, but now I delete spam, move scripts from one forum to another if needed, and be aware that I represent DD more than before.

djr33, was there a reason you decided to use a picture of yourself or was it arbitrary.

jscheuer1, by the same profile do you mean the same dimensions?

[djr33]

I think John meant the same angle for the camera relative to his face.

For me, I just thought it was more personal as the rest of you have said. I always prefer seeing avatars of the other users themselves, so I thought I'd join them.

[jscheuer1]

Same profile, like in photography. In this case the right profile.

[bernie1227]

Well this is slightly depressing, everyone on this thread but ajfrmf, beverlyH and myself are now mods. Aw well, maybe I should part my hair next time :p

[jscheuer1]

OK, but just remember that a miser with his money is like a bald man with his comb. He can't part with it.

[bernie1227]

In that case then, I will endeavour not to lose any hair, and be just terrible enough at everything in order to not generate any monetary funds whatsoever :p

[Beverleyh]

Next time I have a trim, I will save some - my hair is so long that if I get dressed in the dark, I sometimes zip the ends into my trousers. (ow!)

[djr33]

Now that I know what traq's avatar is referring to, I find it hilarious. I had no idea before. :)

[Beverleyh]

Makes me chuckle every time I see it too :)

[bernie1227]

I think I just brought new meaning to traq's avatar

[keyboard]

Any thoughts on my avatar?

[bernie1227]

No.

[jscheuer1]

You know as a mod you can change your title. With that avatar you could change it from 'Global Moderator' to 'The Doctor'.

[keyboard]

I know I can change it, but no-one else has and you changed yours back to the default (instead of Tamper Resistant)
But yes, I am so going to do this!!!


Shibsifbdsjb
Whaaaa?

[jscheuer1]

Lookin' good . . .

[keyboard]

Now to change my username..... :D

[djr33]

Ah, The Phantom Tollbooth!

[keyboard]

It's a police box?

[djr33]

I stand by what I said!

[keyboard]

Even if it's wrong? :D

[djr33]

The book was released in 1961, and the TV series started in 1963. Coincidence? I think not. I swear there must be some connection there, though no one believes me.

[keyboard]

There was a book of Doctor Who?
Interesting...
What's that got to do with the fact that it's a Police Phone Box and not a Toll Booth?

[djr33]

Haha, perhaps nothing. I'm talking about the book called "The Phantom Tollbooth", released just 2 years before the TV show "Doctor Who".... there must be a connection.

[jscheuer1]

Another conspiracy theorist I see. Are there parallels?

[keyboard]

Ahhh.... I understand now

[djr33]

There's a public-space box thingy that enables a band of random characters to travel through space and time and have adventures. *shrug*


(While I'm mostly joking, that Doctor Who was aired just two years after the book suggest to me that someone, even unconsciously, was influenced by the book-- just thought "hey, let's make a TV show about that" and somewhere down the line of writing/editing, it became what it is now.)

[jscheuer1]

Sounds like plagiarism.

[djr33]

Doesn't it? :D

And in case anyone hasn't seen the image traq's avatar is from, I thought I'd share the link, having to track it down myself:
http://shoze.blogspot.com/2011/06/brorwser-wars.html

I'll let it speak for itself.

I guess Opera's the only adult in the room.

[djr33]

Oh, I'm imagining the backstory now... Opera wasn't allowed out to play because he had detention..... or perhaps he had to stay home sick because he wasn't loading properly....

Anyone feel like sketching a few more browsers into it? Safari, Opera and the other children are feeling left out.


As for your avatar, traq, it's strange... the blue frame of that gif somehow connects to your current avatar-- you seem like the same person with whichever you used. But sure, go ahead and change it. I'm just glad I realized in time to check out the full image ;)

[james438]

I definitely like keyboard1333's new avatar. Coincidentally, I just came from watching the latest episode of Doctor Who. I grew up with Doctor Who as well.

On a side note, sometime in the not too distant future I'll try to post a current picture of myself. This one is a couple years old. It won't be an avatar though. I plan on keeping this avatar for a while. This is my first avatar as well.

Cool!

[james438]

I misspoke. It was the gunslinger episode. I have not seen The Power of Three episode yet.

What is this image people are referring to about the browsers as children?

[keyboard]

Oh good.... IMHO don't watch episode 4!!!

Traq's avatar is taking from the image you mentioned
It's this (http://shoze.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/brorwser-wars.html) one.

[Beverleyh]

I misspoke. It was the gunslinger episode.
With Kryten's deranged half-brother ;)

Those creepy cube-face hospital porters were a bit squirm-worthy weren't they? Just like Rory's comedy orange pants - uncomfortable, funny and classic, all at the same time!

Yep, the DW box is looking good Keebs.

[james438]

At the risk of diverting the conversation still further from avatars I'll say that I am still looking forward to seeing The Power of Three episode :). Over here in the U.S. when growing up Doctor Who was something I always looked forward to. It only aired very late at night on Friday and could go on till 1am. It was the one day of the week I was allowed to stay up late and eat as much candy as I wanted! Friday night Doctor Who night was a big affair for my family. It was a very rare thing when I found someone else who had also heard of the show.

My favorite incarnation of the Doctor was #7 Sylvester McCoy. He was a very dark doctor or at least he dealt with some dark issues. His companion, Ace, was more like a daughter than the others and it was good to see the doctor as a father figure. There was also a version of the future version of the doctor that incarnation #6 met that was pure evil (incarnation number 13 or 14). He was interesting and rather scary. The evil Doctor considered the Master second rate!.

Ok, I'm done rambling for a bit ;).

EDIT: Hah! Thanks for that link Keyboard1333!

Even more diverting from the thread, over here it airs on Sunday morning at 5:30AM (on abc iview, they air it a week late anyway, but they didn't have iview until this year, so people would just pirate the episodes, so they put it on iview right after it airs in England) keyboard and I got up at 5:00AM to watch it :p

Ahh yes, I remember Ace, didn't she have those exploding deodorant cans, I have to say though, she definitely seemed to be the stereotypical rock and roll teenager.

[Beverleyh]

Sylvester McCoy was the first Dr that I really remember - Ace too but only because Sophie Lawrence (the girl who played her) was a children's TV presenter before she got the part.

My fave Dr Who girl is Donna :)

I can't believe you 2 got up at 5am to watch it - that's dedication for you.
Are you looking forward to next week? The crying angels are back - that's me not sleeping for a week (again!)

[bernie1227]

I don't even know why we get up at 5:00 really, :p but next week it's the weeping angels in New York (they have babies !(cherubs))

I just noticed, we've successfully reached 10 pages on the thread by constantly diverting from the topic.

[Beverleyh]

Just a token mention of 'avatar' every now and again should be enough to keep us both from being shoe'd off the forum - ha, ha :D

I bet you and Keebs Skype each other when DW is on so you can 'watch it together'!

[keyboard]

Nope, he comes over and we watch it together :p

[bernie1227]

Because Skype is too mainstream

[keyboard]

And being non-mainstream is to mainstream!

[bernie1227]

And thusly, we see dr. Who cause yet another paradox.

Actually on topic for once, I'm thinking of changing my avatar, what should it be?

[Beverleyh]

Photo! A happy, smiley one.

[djr33]

I was having trouble reading the tiny print on your avatar-- thanks for sharing the larger version :)
I like it.

[jscheuer1]

I like it but it loses something in 'translation' to an avatar sized image.

[djr33]

Hm, comparing our avatars now, John, I notice that we both have images of ourselves with a shadow covering about half of our face. Is this the official coder-self-portrait?

[jscheuer1]

I don't know about you, but I haven't seen my sister for some time. She's left coast I'm over her on the other one. We talk on the phone almost every week. Anyways, we exchange gifts for birthdays and holidays. She gave me that shirt and I really liked it and wanted her to see me in it. The avatar is just the head off of what turned out to be the best picture of about 5 or so. I waited until the light was right, near sunset, "God's light" as it's known by some. That's what I came up with.

What's your 'excuse'? :)

[djr33]

Actually, there is an interesting story behind that photo (though nothing to do with the light). It was taken during my very short trip to Easter Island, a total of three days but two for traveling, so just one to see the whole island and take pictures-- not too hard, but certainly a full day (with a little bit on the other two days as well, after/before flights). I was happily taking pictures including this one, and my camera started acting up-- some of the photos didn't save, or were corrupted; ok, no big deal, just slowed me down a little bit taking the pictures. Then after 5 pictures after this one was taken the camera just completely corrupted the memory card. I'm still not sure what happened. But essentially everything appeared to have been wiped from the card and it was all lost. I couldn't figure it out and eventually gave up on the pictures-- I bought a (very overpriced) replacement and got a few more pictures on the way out the next day, but it was early morning and they weren't nearly as nice-- and this particularly part of the park wasn't open. I thought I'd lost all of the good pictures. And later that week I was mugged in Buenos Aires and the camera was taken; luckily most of my pictures were backed up on my computer (at the hotel), so I had those, although I lost the ones from that day in Colonia, Uruguay. Anyway, about a week passed until I got back to Ecuador where my better laptop was waiting and I eventually played with the card some more, actually taking it apart, cleaning it, putting it back together, trying a couple memory card readers, and eventually getting lucky-- I managed to copy the pictures off it. So now I saved all of these at least :)
I'm still not sure what happened with the card. Several of the pictures, more so toward the end, are completely corrupted, just essentially random JPG artifacts; sometimes half of the picture, sometimes the whole thing. And I liked that camera-- nice zoom lens-- I think I'll buy another one next time I get the impulse to go on a trip, perhaps to somewhere a little less likely to get mugged... oh... travels... :rolleyes:
Overall, Easter Island was a really nice place-- I'd definitely recommend it if you ever get the chance (but of course it's right in the middle of the ocean, a 5 hour flight from anywhere, so... you may need to make a chance).


And yes, that is definitely the right light for your picture-- it's nice. (We were lucky enough to be at the cool part of the island with the near-sunset light-- also known as "Golden Hour", at least in the film industry, not sure about photography, even though it's often less than an hour.)

[bernie1227]

Mine doesn't have a story :)

Apart from the mugging, that's a really nice story

[djr33]

Thanks. My travels are never boring, sometimes complicated like that, haha.

[bernie1227]

Just as a quick question, what kind of cameras do you use?

[djr33]

For these pictures in particular?

I'm more interested in video production than still photos-- for video work I use a Canon HV30, which is a great cheap HD camera (about $800 when I bought it around 6 years ago). I've generally liked Canon video cameras, although Sony can be ok too.

For photos while traveling I usually use a cheap camera. For a while, I used Kodak EasyShare cameras, which I thought were really good, considering they were pretty cheap-- about $150. I went through 2 (3?) of those a while ago. It's been about 2 years now.

After that, for the trip during which my avatar was taken, I decided to upgrade just a bit. Not a top of the line camera but something with better zoom and improved image quality-- now I just can't remember what it was. It was either Canon or Sony for $300, with 10x-16x zoom, a big improvement over the cheaper ones, and it took great pictures. Then it got stolen. (I should look up which one it was-- I've been thinking about buying another.)

After that, I just replaced it with a cheap on at a duty-free mall on the boarder of Argentina and Brazil... Nikon I think, nothing fancy.

I'd buy a nice bigger camera with a nice big lens if I liked to take pictures while not traveling, but for convenience and not having a fancy camera to be stolen I haven't done that yet.


As a random note, I really love these underwater cases for taking pictures while snorkeling, etc.:
http://www.amazon.com/DicaPac-WP410-10-5x16-0cm-Waterproof-Digital/dp/B001C20816/ref=pd_cp_p_0
Cheap and they work. But don't put an expensive camera in it of course. There's always a chance you'll get it wet with your hands or something.

[bernie1227]

sounds pretty good, I've got an olympus sz-10, it's a pretty god camera, considering the price, it cost me about $300 AUD, 1280x720 video, 18x optical zoom, which is pretty darn far for a little camera.

[djr33]

Hm, I've never tried Olympus. 18x zoom sounds good. I just look at the image quality (which I find often doesn't really correlate with price in an obvious way).

[bernie1227]

Very good quality photos and good if you're doing some shooting at a long distance.

[djr33]

Sounds good. What about low light pictures? That's what most of the cheap (~$150) cameras tend to miss.

[bernie1227]

It's pretty good for low light as well.

[bernie1227]

what's the opinion of my new avatar? (made by yours truly)

[djr33]

Looks like a desktop background for a very small monitor!

[bernie1227]

iphone mini? :p

[keyboard]

I like it, but I think you should add some rounded corners!!!

[bernie1227]

why should it have rounded corners?

[jscheuer1]

It's slick looking.

[bernie1227]

yes, I was going for the whole modern, as you say, slick feel for it.

[keyboard]

Just my asthetical opinion...

[bernie1227]

But then I have to go back to photoshop, and round the corners and everything....... :(

Well,I got tired of my avatar already and went with an old favorite tv show.

[jscheuer1]

"The truth is out there."
"Trust no one."
"I want to believe."

Love David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.

A very good show. But like almost all good shows, they did have their down moments, like the monster in the toilet episode for one.

but they also had their high moments, like the Simpsons episode for one.

Actually talking about avatars?
What is this madness ;)

[djr33]

ajmrf, that might be a good idea-- I was wondering just a bit if you were scaring anyone with the Mr. Bean baby :D

[bernie1227]

Yep, I was a bit scared :p

[traq]

philosoraptor FTW : )

Epic new avatar traq!
And I like yours too ajfmrf!!!

[djr33]

Oh, no! Traq's avatar has prompted me to get stuck on another endless internet loop. It's like a wikipedia loop, but just one filled with many many philosoraptors!! Haha...

[traq]

Have you seen the one where he's flossing? LOL

[ajfmrf]

honestly,I scared myself...

[Beverleyh]

Nice looking avatars chaps. I think philosoraptor is my fave - classic!

[jscheuer1]

I too like philosoraptor. I have a slight criticism though, It's so dark and small that it's hard to make out visually. If there were greater contrast between the background and the critter, it might be much easier to recognize. Might be hard to do and still have the superimposed text be as legible though. At first it looked to me like the head of a man grimacing. Although now that I know what it is (I Googled philosoraptor and saw it larger with not so much text on it), I can no longer see the grimacing man. It was sort of like:

Is it two faces, or a vase?

Something like that might make a neat avatar come to think of it.

[keyboard]

How do you see two faces or two vases in that picture???

[jscheuer1]

It's the outline of two white faces in profile looking at each other from the left and right sides of the image, or the outline of one black vase (looks more like a pedestal to me come to think of it) in the center.

Ahhhh..... I see what you mean....
Now make it coding related and you've got a very neat avatar!!!
:D
